Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

And A Little Bit More

In this shot, where the girls are chatting over a glass of lemonade, you can see the white panther art deco curtains and the gold columns.

The table and chairs which have been featured before here, are available in kit form from the Fairy Meadow Miniatures online store. I gave the table top a granite look and painted the base & chairs navy blue. I also upholstered the chair seat and back.

Another Preview

Things have been progressing slowly with my diorama plans, but I have managed to begin the  revamp of the "White Panther Jazz Club" which I began some time ago for my Integrity Toy dolls.

I changed the walls around, two of which are painted Navy Yacht Race and the third  is Sundance Gold. As the third wall has a window, I shall use the old panther fabric to make a curtain. The same black & white tiles which I used for the "Kids Kitchen" is being used for the floor.


I didn't like the old stage and am in the throws of making a new one. To my eyes the mic and piano don't really look right sitting on the floor, what do you think?


As you can see, word gets around quickly in the doll room, so it wasn't long before Kumiko and Hatsuko decided to go check out what I had done. Within minutes of their arrival, they were enjoying a good old sing-along at the piano and mic.


I had no idea Kumiko and Hatsuko were so talented, did you? And so sneaky . . . they certainly wouldn't have dared to go to the Jazz Club had the IT dolls been out of their boxes!
